Using 'Because' three times in a sentence

Someone asked me if it is possible to use the word 'Because' three times, consecutively, in the same sentence. The person claimed the answer to be - "No sentence can end with 'because' because, 'because' is a conjunction."
Upon being told that it was a very generic (read lame) way of doing it because of having used quotes, the person wouldn't accept it. How do I put my point forth? Please help

To say that you can't end a sentence with 'because' because 'because' is a conjunction is not true because I am about to end this sentence with the word 'because'. We are playing with words here.

Consider it a spoken sentence. A spoken sentence is still a sentence, and that's all that was required. Nobody can hear the quotation marks, so the quotes are irrelevant when the sentence is said rather than read.

It's unclear from your description who "someone" is, who "the person" is, and how "me" fits in, so it's possible that I gave you the opposing argument from the one you wanted. If so, you'll need a different argument.

Say that the puzzle was to "use" the word 'because', not to "mention" it. There's a difference b

Particularly in spoken English, repetition like the following is not uncommon. It usually indicates the speaker is searching for how to complete the sentence he has begun.

eg I love you because . . .

You cannot start a sentence with because because because is a conjunction.
